Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (or 2 cups canned corn, drained)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 medium tomato, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1 small jalapeño, seeds removed and minced (adjust for spice preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Corn: Spread the corn kernels on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the corn is slightly charred and golden, stirring halfway through.

      Prepare the Salsa Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, diced tomato, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

        Combine and Toss: Once the corn is finished roasting, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, add the roasted corn to the bowl with the other ingredients.

          Finish Off: Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the lime juice. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

            Chill & Serve: Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld together. Serve with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats.
